One Coffee can brew a lot of savings!

Earlier
this year, the Federal budget offered tax relief for individuals. Some
changes came into effect on 1 July 2007 and more changes will follow on
1 July 2008.

The
tax breaks aren’t huge, for example, if you’re earning between $30,001
and $80,000 per year, your tax saving from 1 July 2008 will be $14.42
per week. If you’re earning between $80,000 and $150,000, you’ll
benefit to the tune of $24.03 per week. However you might be amazed at
the difference this could make if you continue living as though the
budget never happened. Most people would simply take their tax cut and
turn it into five cups of coffee…and why not? It equates to almost
one per day for a typical working week.

With
this in mind, a news poll recently surveyed people’s attitudes to
investing, including saving for their retirement. They found that 66%
of people aged 40 – 64 who work full or part-time buy at least one
coffee or soft drink a week from cafes or convenience stores.

They
asked these people how willing they’d be to buy one less beverage a
week and to invest the money instead. 59% said they wouldn’t do it
while 26% said they might be interested. Only 13% of the people
surveyed said they’d give it a go.

While this may all seem like a storm in a coffee cup, you might be surprised to learn that the 13% are onto something.

We
believe you can brew significant savings if you’re prepared to forgo
one cup a day. If you put that money into your super, you could see an
additional $45,000 in your super fund over the next twenty years! Interestingly, the survey also found that only one in three people over
40 thought they would have enough super to fund their retirement. And
while most people knew they should be doing something about their
savings, over half of them believed they didn’t have enough money to
invest anyway.

Investing,
rather than drinking your tax cut, is a good way to start addressing
this dilemma. If this sounds like you, maybe it’s time for a chat with
one of our financial advisers – over a coffee of course!

Why use a Payroll Outsourcing Service?

A payroll outsourcing service can save you time, money and a whole
lot of headaches.

Firstly, no business is too small to use an outside payroll
service. Most payroll processors will handle as few as a single
employee. And considering the hassles and liabilities of processing
payroll, superannuation and payroll related taxes accurately and
timely, any business owner is wise to consider farming out this
chore. In fact, with services so easily accessible, you’d be a bit
daft not to at least consider the option.

Payroll is one of the main tasks that small biz owners outsource.
Why?

·
It’s inexpensive

·
It can save a tremendous amount of time & trouble with the tax
office & other govement mandates

·
You have better things to do with your time than fuss with payroll
paperwork & interpretation of the endless amounts of
ever-changing compliance with workplace legislation.

·
You have choices…do some of the work yourself, or turnover the
entire lot, payroll processing & disbursement of all pay related
liabilities, it’s ezy!

·
Payroll administration is a time consuming, non-revenue producing
exercise.

Consider what your time is worth on an hourly basis and then
multiply this by the hours your spend dealing with personnel and
payroll related activities. You’ll be shocked when you actually
calculate how much of your time is being spent on a task which
produces nothing in terms of revenue and profit!

Are You Making The Right Profit From Your Business?

People go into business for many and varied reasons with the most common and important of these being to make a profit.

Without
making a profit in your business, it is very difficult to keep moving
forward. Profit comes about when your income is larger than your
expenses or outgoings. Many people wait until the end of the year to
have their tax affairs prepared to see whether they’ve made a profit or
loss. Others might look at it more frequently but don’t really
understand what it all means or how this compares to other businesses
in their particular industry.

One
way to ensure your business is running efficiently and thus producing
the best results, is to have BBV undertake a benchmarking review of
your business.

When
conducting a benchmarking review we firstly establish your business’s
current financial position and then compare this data to other
businesses in your industry taking into account factors such as

* Number of employees * Floor area * Customer retention etc.

A
full report is then produced to give you a meaningful analysis to
establish just what areas of your business are performing well and what
areas could be fine tuned to ramp up your profit and thus improve the
value of your business going forward.

If you would like more information on business benchmarking please don’t hesitate to contact our Coffs Harbour Office on (02) 6652 3160.
